Explanation:

2 things to remember :

1. the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°.

2. the law of sine

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

triangle 1 :

angle B = 180 - 62.2 - 43.8 = 74°.

a/sin(62.2) = 15.8/sin(74)

a = 15.8 × sin(62.2)/sin(74) = 14.53961961... in

c/sin(43.8) = 15.8/sin(74)

c = 15.8 × sin(43.8)/sin(74) = 11.37657122... in

triangle 2 :

14.9/sin(49) = 11.6/sin(A)

sin(A) = 11.6 × sin(49)/14.9 = 0.587559136...

angle A = 35.98398776...° ≈ 36°

angle C = 180 - 49 - 35.98398776... = 95.01601224...° ≈

≈ 95°

c/sin(95) = 14.9/sin(49)

c = 14.9 × sin(95)/sin(49) = 19.66708505...

newly weds triangle :

let's call the 2 sides a and b (25 m and 30 m).

the angle between them is 60°.

here we should use the extended Pythagoras for general triangles :

c² = a² + b² - 2×a×b×cos(C)

with c being the side opposite to the angle C.

so, we have in our case

c² = 25² + 30² - 2×25×30×cos(60) = 625 + 900 - 750 =

= 775

c = sqrt(775) = sqrt(25×31) = 5×sqrt(31) = 27.83882181... m

the area of the triangle we get via Heron's formula :

s = (a+b+c)/2 = (25+30+c)/2 = 41.41941091...

area = sqrt(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) = sqrt(s(s-25)(s-30)(s-c)) =

= sqrt(105,468.75) = 324.7595264... m²

with Php 2000 per m² this would cost

324.7595264... × 2000 = Php 649,519.0528...
